Trying to extract only characters from a column, i.e.
JIM325612
SARAH651291
Each has 6 digits behind them but the amount of characters vary. How do I just pull the characters using 'SUBSTR' or something similar?
want=compress(your_variable,,'d');
want=compress(your_variable,,'d');
data h;
input var $15.;
datalines;
JIM325612
SARAH651291
;
data want;
set h;
want=compress(var,,'d');
run;
Thank you so much! Worked perfect!
